FFXIV Glamour Guide: How to Look Like Every Final Fantasy Protagonist

There's never been a better time to start playing Final Fantasy XIV. Like many other MMORPGs that preceded it, the critically acclaimed title includes its own version of transmogrification called glamour. Many popular faces from traditional entries in the Final Fantasy series have appeared in the game. But did you know you can actually design your character to look exactly like your favorite Final Fantasy protagonist? Read everything you need to know in this guide. Note: We will be skipping Final Fantasy XI, as it is an MMORPG like Final Fantasy XIV. Warriors of Light - Final Fantasy I What began as a direct inspiration from Dungeons & Dragons, Final Fantasy I does not focus on a single protagonist but rather a group of heroes known as the Warriors of Light. Although there are jobs in Final Fantasy XIV to support the same playstyle of the various class archetypes introduced in Final Fantasy I, there is no simple method of looking exactly like those characters. Here are the specific armor and weapon sets we recommend to look like every single Warrior of Light: Fighter Source: Eorzea Collection Head: The Emperor's New Hat Body: Moonward Mail of Fending (Ruby Red Dye) Hands: The Emperor's New Gloves Legs: Cropped Fireglass Leather Slops Feet: Dreadwyrm Sabatons of Fending (Ruby Red Dye) Weapon: N/A Earrings: N/A Black Belt Source: Eorzea Collection Head: Baron Circlet Body: Dalmascan Draped Top (Peacock Blue Dye) Hands: Tantra Wristwraps (Chestnut Brown) Legs: Tengu Hakama (Peacock Blue) Feet: Moonfire Tabi Weapon: The Emperor's New Fists Earrings: N/A Thief Source: Eorzea Collection Head: N/A Body: Replica Sky Pirate's Vest of Aiming (Chestnut Brown Dye) Hands: Goatskin Wristguards (Chestnut Brown Dye) Legs: Pagos Gaskins (Chestnut Brown Dye) Feet: Falconer's Boots (Chestnut Brown Dye) Weapon: Mythril Baselards Earrings: Bluebird Earring Black Mage Source: Eorzea Collection Head: Dwarven Cotton Petasos of Casting (Desert Yellow Dye) Body: Ruby Cotton Robe of Casting (Storm Blue Dye) Hands: Hempen Dress Gloves (Desert Yellow Dye) Legs: Plain Long Skirt (Soot Black Dye) Feet: Adept's Thighboots Weapon: Shantotto's Staff Earrings: N/A White Mage Source: Eorzea Collection Head: Alexandrian Hood of Healing (Pure White Dye) Body: Orison Robe Hands: Archaeoskin Gloves of Healing (Dalamud Red Dye) Legs: Eikon Cloth Culottes of Healing (Ruby Red Dye) Feet: Anemos Seventh Heaven Thighboots (Wine Red Dye) Weapon: Maple Cane Earrings: N/A Red Mage Source: Eorzea Collection Head: Dravanian Hat of Casting Body: Ala Mhigan Coat of Casting (Blood Red Dye) Hands: The Emperor's New Gloves Legs: Bridesmaid's Tights (Soot Black Dye) Feet: Dragonskin Boots of Casting Weapon: N/A Earrings: N/A Firion - Final Fantasy II Square made a pivotal decision when creating Final Fantasy II. They abandoned the original design of allowing the player to set up a party composed of nameless characters with customizable class archetypes. In substitution for this, Final Fantasy II has you assume the role of protagonists whose names and backstories are already written.

An adventurous person by nature, given his orphan background in a small village, Luneth is a beacon of courage for his party.

He represents the Lancer class fantasy of Final Fantasy XIV.

Its protagonist, Bartz Klauser, is a Light Warrior who hails from the town of Lix. Source: Eorzea Collection Head: N/A Body: Cotton Trapper's Tunic (Royal Blue Dye) Hands: N/A Legs: Best Man's Slacks (Gobblebag Brown) Feet: High House Boots Weapon: Balmung Earrings: N/A Terra Branford - Final Fantasy VI Most people argue that Final Fantasy VI is an ensemble piece rather than one that focuses on a single protagonist. Still, given that Terra is the first character you get to play as and with such a heavy focus on her deep-seated magical power, she is the definitive representation of this core entry.

He wields the most iconic weapon in the franchise that he personally inherited, the over-sized Buster Sword.

This weapon would manifest itself in many other parts of the franchise later on. Final Fantasy VIII abandoned the low-poly models from VII's overworld in favor of fully-realized 3D models, albeit with awful pixelation. Still, it was a technical feat for the time. Source: Eorzea Collection Head: Outsider's Circlet Body: Outsider's Jacket Hands: Outsider's Gloves Legs: Outsider's Chaps Feet: Outsider's Boots Weapon: High Steel Gunblade Earrings: Augmented Ironworks Earrings of Slaying Zidane Tribal - Final Fantasy IX In addition to being series creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's favorite, Final Fantasy IX saw a return to its roots by embracing the medieval-style settings of the past. It also draws significant influence from the gameplay elements introduced in Final Fantasy I. Zidane, the protagonist of Final Fantasy IX, is a puckish, outgoing womanizer character who sports a leg-sized tail. Source: Eorzea Collection Head: Outsider's Circlet Body: Outsider's Jacket Hands: Outsider's Gloves Legs: Outsider's Chaps Feet: Outsider's Boots Weapon: High Steel Gunblade Earrings: Augmented Ironworks Earrings of Slaying Tidus - Final Fantasy X The sprawling beaches and shiny sunsets of Final Fantasy X give it one of the most beautiful settings in the franchise. It's also second to Final Fantasy VII as the most popular numbered entry. Not only does it have an eclectic cast of memorable characters, but it also introduced a beloved party-swap turn-based combat system that eschewed the Active-Time Battle (ATB) of the series' past. Tidus is the hero of Final Fantasy X, donning the exquisite Brotherhood sword.

His outfit screams sky pirate, which aligns perfectly well with his dreams of owning an airship to travel the world of Ivalice.

Debatably, Squall Leonhart is another contender as the main canvas for her due to his similar demeanor and gunsword, a type of weapon that Lightning also wields.

Final Fantasy XV was a game more than a decade into the making by the time of its release and was praised above all for its graphics and action-oriented combat system.
